Inside the Butterfly Carriage.
Liu Jun watched a butterfly next to him gobbling up the tribute from various tribes.
While sneaking bites, it secretly used the Divine Ear to listen to the praises and boasts of the people around, inflating its wisdom to be the best in the world...
Full of sneaky delight.
Yet it tried hard to put on a solemn and serious face, even though its mouth had already curved upwards like a hooked fish.
Die Lvxiang, this young emperor who has just ascended the throne, truly knows how to get things done.
Arranging entertainment activities for their retirement while also contributing to the glory of the Butterfly Race by establishing faith.
Faith is the backbone of a race.
Being pushed to this position merely to enjoy, even Liu Jun himself wouldn't resist such praise and reverence.
And this was Die Lvxiang's little experiment.
Pushing for the divine right of kings without fear of confusion between kingly and divine authority.
Because their experiment of integrating divine objects had already yielded preliminary results.
Today it is us.
Tomorrow it will be them.
In the future, they might also ascend to divinity.
Becoming one of the guardian deities of this race, wielding their own mushroom powers, existing as a god of the Mushroom Race.
After all, at their core... they're just a bunch of mushrooms, aren't they?
Liu Jun smiled, very satisfied with how Die Lvxiang handled things, coordinating people well and making good use of talents—a true gem.
Although he praised him in his heart, he didn't pay much attention.
Because as a Third Tier Telekinesis Master, having power in his fists, granting authority was natural.
Granting authority was simple, and reclaiming it wasn't hard either—just a matter of clenching a fist.
As such, he was uninterested in trivial matters, for the most important thing now was still cultivation, maintaining his own strength!
Thus, he began to take action.
"Stop eating; it's time to read, time to cultivate."
"I've specially prepared this cultivation knowledge for you, with various telekinesis theories."
Liu Jun gathered a batch of books, intending to have it learn well.
As a telekinesis cultivator himself, naturally, he wanted the one with innate telekinesis talent to strive hard on his behalf.
Once it grew stronger, he could benefit from its power.
The Amber Swallowtail Butterfly saw there was no escaping this time and cautiously said:
"It's not possible, I've tried. Even when I switch forms, I'm not much stronger and can't focus on reading."
"Really?" Liu Jun was a bit suspicious.
"Really."
Liu Jun silently looked at it.
The Amber Swallowtail Butterfly nodded vigorously like a pecking chick: "Cerebral palsy, cerebral palsy."
Liu Jun: "..."
He's seen plenty of bad students like this; don't think playing dumb and being cute will get you out of studying. Today, he must use Si Anhe's educational methods to make it study earnestly.
After several tests, Liu Jun discovered it was indeed the case: that [Middle Wisdom] was average at best.
Born with talent but limited by it, it was stuck at a fixed number within the normal range of intelligence.
Even with the [Middle Wisdom] state activated, it was just an ordinary person, and its learning ability wasn't even on par with Liu Jun, a young prodigy.
This left Liu Jun amused yet exasperated.
In this world, which Innate Saint isn't unmatched in wisdom and immensely talented?
Yet this clone of the Innate Phoenix Butterfly Saint became a unique anomaly of the ages.
——Cerebral Palsy Saint.
If Innate Saints gathered, it would likely be scorned and kicked out for being embarrassing.
"On the other hand, Die Lvxiang is quite clever."
"Gifted with Middle Wisdom but not limited by it, his wisdom is flexible, capable of growth."
"The direction of Middle Wisdom's talent ability acts as support, transforming life... possessing ordinary intelligence; in truth, that talent is already incredibly formidable, so excessive demands are unnecessary."
Liu Jun calculated in his mind.
"Awaiting the advancement to [High Wisdom], a little anticipation can't hurt."
These various talent mushrooms are indeed fascinating.
The first talent in the [Wisdom] series alone has so many hidden characteristics.
At this moment, a respectful voice came from the side: "Late Emperor, Prophet, we've arrived."
The carriage hovered mid-air, and Liu Jun and the Phoenix Emperor got off to bestow blessings upon the citizens.
Liu Jun glanced at Insect Thirteen and his mother, and even the zealous tribesmen who followed all the way.
Rustle, rustle!
Warm and mysterious light scattered from the sky.
The Phoenix Emperor had already mastered the divine art of wisdom transmission.
Fortunately, Liu Jun also crammed practice, training in the ability to use [Low Consumption], saving him from embarrassing himself as a Prophet.
Otherwise, losing divine status to a fool would indeed be amusing.
Quickly.
A group of juvenile butterflies had their wisdom awakened.
A group of elderly and weak butterflies had their aging delayed.
In reality, what would the Mushroom Soup be like?
...
Liu Jun retracted his consciousness, focusing on the Mushroom Soup.
Inside the Mushroom Soup, on a massive rotting wood substrate, countless new mushrooms bloomed densely!
The massive butterfly sleeping at the center, as the God of Wisdom for mushrooms, instinctively infected its mushroom kin, awakening their wisdom.
Each small and adorable mushroom was transformed, drawn into dreams, dreaming of themselves as butterflies, continuing stories spanning billions of years.
As more mushrooms joined the dream, that Butterfly Era world became increasingly complete and whole.
The scene was magnificent and enchanting.
A beautiful butterfly lay among a group of colorful, adorable little mushrooms, embraced like flowers surrounding an ancient slumbering deity.
The Amber Swallowtail Butterfly, with [Low Wisdom] and [Middle Wisdom], granted wisdom to numerous mushrooms and captivated all their consciousnesses into a dream world.
"This batch of wisdom-awakened mushrooms is the embryonic form of my Mushroom Race."
Liu Jun observed the mushroom field, organizing his thoughts.
These mushrooms must be nurtured!
Without nurturing mushrooms, what would he use the Mushroom Soup for?
Using talent development to propagate racial lineages served as his self-protective strategy for growing stronger.
Even creating some unique cultivation techniques belonging to his own race.
After all, the cultivation methods for Telekinesis Masters were tailored to them and not for Liu Jun.
Liu Jun could feel that his various mushroom talents still had untapped potential.
Having this group of mushrooms contemplate well, looking at classic fairy tales like "The Amber Swallowtail Butterfly," not only provided an education model akin to human preschool, but could also establish it as the first epoch of mushroom civilization—the Butterfly Era.
Wrapping his race in an ancient Jurassic history's prestigious facade.
——How could our civilization be from last week? Look at this patina, obviously it's ancient, from the Jurassic!
This suddenly imbued it with intrinsic value!
This dream could eventually evolve into an exclusive divine art for the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly, creating a virtual realm world with supreme wisdom, yet it wouldn't be his own.
It might be temporarily borrowed, but not convenient for long-term use.
He needed to secretly gather earth, water, and various resources to establish a true existing world here.
And this resource-scarce barren environment, Liu Jun beautified it as: pre-creation times.
The Creation Butterfly, before creation, curled its wings shrouding the sky, dreaming deeply in chaos, awakening to open the heavens and establish earthly order.
It suddenly brought that feeling!
"No matter how much you beautify it, at its essence, it's impoverished, ultimately lacking resources." Liu Jun mused, ultimately, meal by meal, it must be consumed.
